Portable Stand System with two plaques

ABSTRACT

Portable stand system consists of two rigid plaques with perforated slots designed to interlock the two plaques into various configurations. The way to assemble the two plaques is by inserting them using the perforations indistinctively in order to achieve different x-shaped configurations according to the needs of the used. The system allows objects to be rearranged from their original position and/or angle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a portable stand system comprised oftwo rigid plaques with perforated slots designed to interlock the twoplaques into various configurations.

Discussion of the Background

Currently there are different types of small objects holders for devicessuch as smart phones, utensils or other types of artefacts that needholders to be functional or to be placed above where it is placedoriginally. Prior art found on this subject result to be bulky, rigidand complicated methods that make difficult the process of reproductionand also the handling of the pieces.

In light of the above shortcoming of the method available to holdobjects, this new device overcomes them by the simplicity of itsconstruction and method of assembly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of this invention is to present a simple deviceand method to place or rest artefacts, such as utensils or mobiledevices, in an easy and simple way that do not complicate the handling.

It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a holder for smallitems convenient for travel. The simplicity of the exemplary embodimentin accordance with the principles of the present disclosure provideadvantages for the holder's construction or process of reproduction,since being two identical plaques with slots placed strategicallyassists with the manufacturing process. Also, the configuration is anadvantage for the assembling process because it can be used to placedifferent types of objects in many different ways.

To enable a better understanding of the objective and features of thepresent invention, a brief description of the drawing below will befollowed with a detailed description of invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the structure of the first preferred embodimentof the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the structure of the first preferred embodimentof the present invention including quadrants.

FIG. 3 isometric view of the structure of the first preferred embodimentof the present invention from a different angle.

FIG. 4A to 4I disclose different alternate configurations for theassembling of at least two plaques, that always result in perpendiculararrangements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The preferred embodiment in accordance with the principle of the presentdisclosure includes at least a pair of flat surfaces 1′, 1″, such as aplaque, wherein each plaque 1 is intended to have a preselected size.For example the plaques 1 can have a standard size to be inserted in awallet, such as a credit card, in order to carry the system at alltimes. The plaques 1 are made of a rigid material, for example theplaques 1′, 1″ are preferred to be constructed of aluminum in order toprovide a rigid structure while avoiding demagnetization of credit cardsplaced adjacent to the plaques 1′, 1″.

FIG. 1 discloses a plaque 1 comprising at least a first pair of extendedflat surfaces 2, 3, a first flat surface 4, a second a flat surface 5and at least a second pair 6, 7 of extended flat surfaces, wherein saidsecond pair of extended flat surfaces 6, 7 are perpendicular to thefirst pair of extended flat surface 2, 3. The first pair of extendedflat surface 2, 3 comprises extended flat surfaces having a predefinedwidth x3, x4. Similar each flat surface of said second pair of extendedflat surfaces 6, 7 comprises a predefined width x1, x2. The recess orslot R between the extended flat surfaces is enough to provide space forthe plaque thickness XC for pass through said recess. The arrangementbetween plaques 1′, 1″ is best shown in FIGS. 4A through 4I.

Accordingly each plaque 1 is divided into quadrants as show in FIG. 2.Top half left is quadrant A, right is quadrant B, bottom half left isquadrant C, right is quadrant D. A horizontal axis X-X runs along thecenterline of the length XA of the plaque while the vertical axis Y-Yruns along the centerline of the width XB of the plaque. The recesses,as shown, are configured to be perforated in the perimeter of a singlequadrant. For example the recess forming first pair 2, 3 of extendedflat surface is located at the first quadrant A and the second pair 6, 7of extended flat surfaces is limited to the fourth quadrant D.

Each plaque is preferred to comprise the same configuration, as shown inFIG. 3, in order to provide single configuration to replicate for themanufacturing process. The present configuration allows for easyinsertion of one plaque into the other.

FIG. 4A through 4I provides different arrangement of a pair of plaques.It is important to understand that the configuration, such as therecesses and extended flat surfaces 2, 3, 6, 7 configurations perquadrant assists the assembling of the plaques 1′, 1″.

In summary of the previous sections, the invention presented here isstructurally innovative, presents advantages not available at the momentwith existing culinary utensils, complies with all new patentapplication requirements and is hereby lawfully submitted to the patentbureau for review and the granting of the commensurate patent rights.

While the invention has been described as having a preferred design, itis understood that many changes, modifications, variations and otheruses and applications of the subject invention will, however, becomeapparent to those skilled in the art without materially departing fromthe novel teachings and advantages of this invention after consideringthis specification together with the accompanying drawings. Accordingly,all such changes, modifications, variations and other uses andapplications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of theinvention are deemed to be covered by this invention as defined in thefollowing claims and their legal equivalents. In the claims,means-plus-function clauses, if any, are intended to cover thestructures described herein as performing the recited function and notonly structural equivalents but also equivalent structures.
